The accused has been identified as Fayaz, a resident of Saundatti in Belagavi. He was handed over to the police by the college staff and students after his capture.

Neha Hiremath, the victim, is reported to be the daughter of Congress corporator Niranjan Hiremath. The incident has sparked political controversy, with the opposition party, BJP, criticising the Congress-led government for failing to maintain law and order in the state.

The tragic stabbing incident has escalated into a political controversy with the BJP accusing the Congress-led government of failing to maintain law and order in the state. The opposition party seized upon the incident to highlight what they perceive as governance failures under the current administration.

In a statement on social media, the Karnataka BJP criticized the Congress government, stating, "Anarchy is the mission of governance - law and order is a nightmare. It is the administrative mantra of @INCKarnataka Govt. CM @siddaramaiah himself, this is the result of anarchy and nepotism rule, Fayaz stabbed to death Neha Hiremath, a student of BVB College, Hubli in the middle of the day. Answer how many more innocent Hindus you will sacrifice for your appeasement regime."

The tragic incident involving Neha has further intensified the ongoing political rivalry between the Congress and BJP in Karnataka. The opposition's criticism comes amid growing concerns over the safety of citizens and the effectiveness of security measures implemented by the state government.

As the investigation into the stabbing incident continues, political tensions are expected to remain high, with both parties likely to use the incident as a focal point in their respective campaigns and narratives ahead of upcoming elections.
